• Carroll postpones his retirement and will continue one more season at Real Madrid

As if the definitive suspension of the Euroleague, announced on Monday by Jordi Bertomeu , had reactivated all the financial mechanisms of the clubs, now already aware of the exact road map until next year. It will be a period of economic hardship, like in all corners, but that does not mean that movements in the transfer market will not occur. Perhaps quite the opposite.

For now, the shot of the rumors has already gone off. And with capital names. The first of them is that of Nick Calathes , related to Barcelona. A top base to combine with Thomas Heurtel. Pure experience, pure basketball control, a director 'made in Greece' (more than nine assists per night was on average in the last edition of the Euroleague), even though he was born and trained in the United States. At 31 years old and about to end his relationship with Panathinaikos, the former Gators from the University of his native Florida, would come to the Palau for the next three seasons in exchange for a total record of 5.5 million euros.

It would be another millionaire investment of the renewed and very expensive Barça de Mirotic, Abrines, Brando Davies or Higgins, which has just lost Malcom Delaney . And that contrasts with the situation of Erte that lives the basketball section.

The rumor mill also hangs around Real Madrid, which announced the renewal of Jaycee Carroll on Thursday and seems to have advanced that of Felipe Reyes. Both for one more year, veterans in power. The intense interest that comes from the NBA for Facundo Campazzo, despite the Argentine's high exit clause, after renewing last summer, worries. Either because of that or because of the opportunity, it would be another Greek base, Kostas Sloukas, who would be on the white radar.

In news coming from Greece, Madrid would have offered six million euros for three seasons to the excellent director of Fenerbahçe, who would not finish closing his continuity with the Zeljko Obradovic team, for which he has played since 2015.

Whether with or without Campazzo, the arrival of a base would open up yet another front for Pablo Laso. Because Nico Laprovittola, from less to more in this course, is still under contract. And the strong Carlos Alocén is on loan at Zaragoza and there are doubts about the advisability of recruiting him after the summer.

Another of the great movements, this seems much more advanced, is the departure of Kyle Hines , the historic center of CSKA -four Euroleagues in his backpack-, heading to Armani Milan by Ettore Messina. At 33 years old, he would return to the country where he debuted in Europe, seeking the assistance of Sergio Rodríguez. Precisely from Milan, Arturas Gudaitis could leave, which is also placed as a target of Real Madrid, according to Sportando.
